Music Review: Blind Pew
 | ||
Powerpop / Classic Rock / Alternative. | ||
Blind Pew, no, not the character from the novel,
Treasure Island (1882), is a Scottish band formed in 2003. One of the
most remarkable aspects of the band is that all four of the members of
the group met in High School and have been playing together ever since.
The band consists of Andy McGregor (lead vocals/keyboard), Paul
McGranaghan (guitar/vocals), Stu McIntosh (bass/vocals) and Del Lamont
(drums).
The band has stated that their influences include The Stones,
The Beatles, The Who, Bob Dylan, and one of my favorite groups of all
time, The Police. What I am really digging about Blind Pew is that they
have created a great sound that truly reflects the band’s own
originality with strong presences of The Stones, Supergrass, Talking
Heads, David Bowie, and even The Beatles.
I listen to several tracks finding myself repeating ever chance I got.
What I especially like was their new single, Hungry Young Fighter. Talk
about a fun track. I really like how the band blends several different
styles of their influences to make a unique sound with their tracks
especially this one. I really wanted to get up and start moving my head
from side to side. The vocals/keyboard, bass, guitar, and drums all
came together when one listens to the various tracks from Blind Pew. I
am giving this group a big thumb up and a solid A- for their overall
music and their style. If you don’t believe me, check them out for
yourself.
